Re: Abraham Lincoln

Actually, most of what I entered the RFC for focussed on the Talk: page. Take a look at Talk:Abraham Lincoln/archive3 and you'll see what I was talking about. And by the way, the instructions for article RFCs say explicitly not to sign them, for some reason or another. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 12:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Guess who

I looked at the change you pointed out and it doesn't look like it was a Johnski sock. --Gene_poole 03:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh!

Yeah, I spend much more time here (especially on the Ido Misplaced Pages and Wiktionary) than on Dave's. One of the reasons why I like it here is that if something is missing in one language I can usually find it in another. You'll note though that a lot of the languages are related to each other - basic Swedish and Danish knowledge pretty much comes along with Norwegian, and I get a 2 rating in Esperanto even though I've never studied it because Ido is a reformed version of it and you can make out 80% of one from knowing the other. What's your username on Dave's? Mithridates 14:38, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Oregon election, 2005

Hi David,

Thanks for your update.

I think it's important to keep the wiki page an accurate record of what happened, so I will revert or modify some of your changes.

The page is dated 2006, and thus encompasses both May and November elections. In several years, I'd like it to be a resource for people to look back at, and see the progression of events. I am not sure I know the best way to do that, but I'll take a shot. I'm hoping you have more thoughts to contribute! Now is when it gets fun.

WP:WPOR - Politicians

Thanks for being a part of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Oregon - it's so awesome to have so many people on board (especially a fellow politics aficionado).

One thing I think you might be able to do is to help us transition our pictures from fair use images to pictures with free licenses, such as the GFDL or an appropriate Creative Commons license. I've noticed that most all of the pictures of Oregon politicians are fair use promotional photos, and this will ding us when we attempt to improve those articles to Featured Article status.

Can you work on obtaining good free pictures? You can either take these photos yourself or you can find pictures and ask the copyright holder if they'll agree to license them under the GFDL or a Creative Commons license. It's important to keep in mind Misplaced Pages doesn't accept non-commercial or educational use only pictures. You can see a full list of options at WP:ICT. the iBook of the Revolution 20:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Dominion of Melchizedek

Hello again. The article has just been unprotected. Let's see how long it takes Johnski to find out :-) --Centauri 22:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I think what you're doing is good - after all, they keep going on about people not quoting things properly, so the more detail we can include about the frauds they've conducted the better. --Gene_poole 12:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I didn't edit anything so you didn't revert any edits. However, I see you took some of what I brought to your attention, but ignored other stuff. Just a question, how would you like to find you are child of a woman not your mother, or mother of children not you own, on wikipedia? Is it just to irritate people like me that are sticklers for accuracy? 207.47.122.10 22:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC) P.S. Koresh was always referred to as Koresh even though he was born Vernon and you might want to do the same with Korem, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/David_Koresh

Concerning User:217.180.78.33

Thanks for the warning, but I take personal attacks and the like in stride (comes with being on RC-patrol and implementing blocks), and there is always someone on the lookout for vandalism. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar 13:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
